First off, for
those of you who don't know what a "Super Gun" is, it's now a misnomer name
actually. There once actually was a "Super Gun." It was the very first device that let
you play arcade games at home, without a cabinet.But nowadays, the word "Super Gun" basically describes any device that
lets you play actual arcade games in the comfort of your own home, without a cabinet. Back during the Street Fighter 2
days (early 1990's), when the motherof all fighting games came out, these device started appearing. They were
pretty popular in Japan and to this day,still are. In the USA however, they are less popular. Currently only 2
companies make Super Gun devices.The more popular of the two is the one made by Mas
Systems, in which they call the "Super Nova."Theother company, called Great Western Trading Company, just
started making their own Super Gun device,which they call H.G.A (home game arcade system).

One of the most
important things to know is the layout of the pin connectors. Your Super Gun won't
mean shit if
you can't output the signal to either a TV or a monitor. To make things more simple
for me, I used the pinouts that the MAS System Super NOVA uses. It's simple, yet
works pretty well. A 5 pin female DIN can be used in place of the 8 pinfemale
DIN, if you just wantRGB on one connector. But
for those who want to make their system more compact and have less connectors in the back,
using an 8 pin female DIN for both the RGB and S-video, is the way to go.
